Yes I am - to the point where I've finally got my finger out and done some work on the site.

Well, all right. I've just spent an hour dicking around with the CV, adding some of my more recent stuff and moving the rest around appropriately. But it's better than nothing. Enjoy.

Well, no, I haven't really.

What I have done is put up a bunch of CV-related material that originally lived on my old Demon website. This includes a bunch of scripts and shorts and suchlike freebies, so If you haven't already seen them, they might be worth a look. I promise nothing.

I think all the links and PayPal stuff etc. is working, but please feel free to send me lots of cash and stuff to test it out. Insert smiley.

The news is, of course, that rather than try and ineptly fail to sell my old books, I've decided to just stick them up for free.

The reason is simple: every website I know of that's successful, every one I go back to, is one that demonstrates a certain generosity of spirit rather than just trying to sell something. Comics, mpg-animations, words, are just put out there. Content is updated on time. And since I'm notoriously bad at doing anything on time, the least I can do is provide some actual content.

Getting paid is a rough and ready way of keeping score, to be sure - you know you're good at what you do when someone pays cash money for it - but there's a world of difference between cash-value and worth.

I've contributed something. I have made things that that are worthwhile in the world, and have made the world a better place, even if they're just assemblages of words and the improvements to the world are indiscernible. I've had it with false-modesty. I do good stuff. Here's my good stuff - and if anyone thinks it isn't, well, fuck 'em, frankly, because life's too short.

That is all.

... there is a blog.

Don't all rush to thank me at once.

After decades of only having one face for everybody, I've decided to start compartmentalising my life again. Here's where I'll be showing my professional face, such as it is.

There shall be news, and articles and commentary, I say. There might also, at some point, be some form of tag-tweaking and biographical matter that lets people know who the hell I am ...
